Star69 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 was pretty easy to build - as i took most of the parts from a silix-Datejust. im very happy with my el-cheapo-Franken ... what do you think ? Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Very nice, i love the classic design and the plastic crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Very nice! The 16014 and it's brother, the 16013, are two of my favorites. Or does that engine turned bezel make it a 16030? Anyway, great job, and using a Silix Datejust for parts is probably a good way to save some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 thx ! its the 115$ Datejust from Silix put in a 30 year old Rolex-case with a new crown. (+ cheap steel bezel and aftermarked plexi) i wanted to put a gen dial - but the rep-dial is good enough for me. i will get a new bracelet later - the silix on is very low quality and the end links don't really fit the gen case. all in around 250 $ and a lot of fun collecting the parts Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
